But the problem with Cubans is that the quality of the build suffers, largely because of the Marxist utopian society they are constructed in. While I will not argue that there is something about the soil and climate on that island that produces the finest tobacco on Earth, the consistency of quality of construction of many of the cigars from there is erratic at best. An even, slow burn and comfortable draw are equally important as flavor and body in the smoking experience. There are some fine cigars of with Dominican innards and American wraps that are on par, although very expensive.
